A Toronto resident who was found lying on the ground around Avenue Road and College View and rushed to hospital died a week later from a gun shot wound.

The victim was Ikechidiadi Kaja. Kaja, a Nigerian professional was a financial analyst and a 2008 MBA graduate from the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management. Friends say he grew up in Nigeria and lived in Maryland as an accountant before coming to Toronto in 2006 to learn about the stock market. He left behind his four-year-old son, Lex.

But it’s been a few months since Ike died near his Forest Hill home and Toronto police are still trying to track down his killer. “Unfortunately, there is no update I am able to provide at this time,” Det.-Sgt. Keri Fernandes, of Toronto police’s homicide squad, told Afrotimes Newspaper.

“The public has been assistive. They have provided witness statements and video. This is the type of investigation where our suspect has eluded us so far, but we are far from finished our search for them.”

Meanwhile, family and friends are still remembering his legacy.

He has been remembered a loving father to his son, a kind friend and a good person. Those who took to social media to express their shock and sadness about his death used the words humble, gentle, loyal and compassionate to describe Kaja.

“Ike really had a love for Toronto, especially U of T. He was passionate about the institution,” said classmate and good friend Narinder Dhami, who knew Kaja for 16 years.

Like many, Dhami was crushed by the loss of Kaja, whom she called a “a high-integrity individual.” She described him as a “positive and thoughtful” individual who “wouldn’t hurt a fly.”

Dhami, who said her friend is the last person anyone would expect to be fatally shot, is leading the effort to ensure Kaja’s legacy lives on through the establishment of a scholarship at his alma mater.

The Ike Justin Kaja Memorial Scholarship will provide $8,000 annually to an incoming student who, like Kaja, embodies kindness, leadership and commitment to making the community a better place.

“This is a next step of healing,” said Dhami, adding the hardest part is waiting and hoping justice will be eventually served.
